Call for abstracts

Modelling Symposium 2022

Call for abstracts 

The Water New Zealand Modelling Group’s annual symposium will be held at Rydges Wellington, 75 Featherston Street, Wellington on 16-17 March 2022.

This year the Modelling Group will be celebrating 22 years of being in existence and the committee will be pulling together a diverse programme that covers the last 22 years as well as the future needs of modelling in the New Zealand water industry. 

Don’t miss the opportunity to share your insights, projects and learnings at Water New Zealand’s Modelling Symposium.  

Themes

You are encouraged to address a theme in your presentation: 

  • Modelling for an uncertain future 
  • Modelling to support outcomes 
  • Beyond Three Waters (other water modelling e.g. coastal, groundwater) 
  • Climate change and extreme events (flooding, droughts) 
  • Resilience and Water Security  
  • Live and operational modelling 
  • Wildcard

*Each year we receive some submissions that don’t quite fit under any of the Themes, which is why we’ve come up with a Wildcard category. It’s submissions like these that remind us of the need to think outside the box to solve our water challenges.
